Why buy a used Peugeot 308?

Recent Peugeot models have marked themselves apart from rivals with their styling and the most recent 308 is no exception. Its beady headlights and shield-like front grille immediately catch the eye, and the neatly creased bodywork looks especially good in the colourful metallic shades Peugeot offers. All recent models are automatic-only, with a choice of turbo petrol, plug-in-hybrid and fully electric power under the bonnet. As the 308 has enhanced its quality, brand-new prices have crept up, but buying a nearly new or used 308 will shave thousands of pounds off these figures.

Owning a used Peugeot 308

Living with a used Peugeot 308 is an easy proposition. The car has a compliant ride and light controls, so crawling through traffic or long motorway slogs won't leave you feeling fatigued. Its 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine punches well above its weight for performance, while plug-in-hybrid and fully electric versions are even quicker. Drivers who cover mostly urban and suburban routes can save a bundle on their running costs with the electric e-308 if you can charge at home, with prices for the EV version being roughly the same or even less than equivalent fuel-powered models on the used market.

Peugeot 308 FAQs

You can get the Peugeot 308 in two different versions – a five-door hatchback, or as a more spacious five-door estate.

If you’re shopping for a 308, you might also want to consider rivals including the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Citroen C4, Mazda 3 or Honda Civic. There’s also Peugeot’s range of stylish SUVs including the 2008 and larger 3008, which also make good choices for family buyers.

The 308 is a little less than 4.3 metres long. That’s puts it close to its rivals but slightly to the shorter end of the class, with key rivals the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and Citroen C4 all measuring a few millimetres longer.

As a result, space in the back of the 308 is decent but not exceptional, with legroom being somewhat limited for taller rear passengers. As a tradeoff, however, the 308 has a relatively large boot, with a wide, square load area. 

308s are all offered with either turbocharged petrol or diesel engines, plus one high-performance option. All are smooth and efficient so you simply need to select your preferred fuel type and the amount of power you’d like under your right foot.

The latest 308 came out in 2021 so is a little too new to have featured in reliability surveys. However, owners generally report being satisfied with their cars.

308 models built up until 2021 typically scored slightly better than average in reliability surveys, and most engines and parts are shared with many other Peugeot and Citroen models, so availability shouldn't be a challenge.

For greater peace of mind, you can add an extended warranty to your 308 that kicks in once the factory coverage runs out. This will protect you from unexpected costs should you suffer a mechanical or electrical failure.

Yes – the 308 is a very compelling choice among family hatchbacks. This is an achievement because there are some seriously talented cars in this class including the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf.

Rivals might have the edge for outright sportiness or comfort, but the Peugeot still strikes a fine balance – while also featuring some of the most eye-catching styling available in the segment. This is especially obvious in the cabin where the distinctive small steering wheel and high-mounted gauges neatly complement the plush materials and minimalist design.

The latest versions also make extensive use of plug-in hybrid technology. That means you get silent running on electric power around town with the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer journeys.

Broadly speaking, 308 models can tow most small to medium-sized caravans.

If you're looking at previous-generation 308s made up until 2021, 1.2-litre petrol models with a manual gearbox are rated to top a braked trailer up to 1,300kg – or 1,200kg if you choose the automatic. The 1.5-litre diesel models are rated for either 1,475kg with the manual or 1,385kg with the automatic. In all cases, selecting the 308 SW estate trims around 100kg from the rated towing capacity.

Newer 308 hatchbacks built from 2021 onwards are automatic only and can pull 680kg with the petrol engine or 1,550kg with the diesel version. For the 308 SW estate, the petrol is boosted to a 1,200kg capacity, but the diesel is trimmed slightly to 1,500kg. All newer hybrid-powered 308 hatches are rated to 1,500kg – an impressive figure for a hybrid – or 1,450kg for the hybrid-powered estate models.
